How Can I Be Real At Work – When Everyone Else Is Fake?

Keeping it real in the workplace can be a real challenge. You can be real at work even when others are not:

“Dear Liz, I love your philosophy that we should bring ourselves to work, but it’s not always easy to follow that advice. I work with people who act fake all the time. They smile in your face and then stab you in the back. I can’t trust them. They are nice one day and horrible the next. I have a reputation in my company for telling the truth, but the same co-workers who beg me to bring up a sticky issue with our manager are the first ones to bash me if our manager doesn’t like the idea.”
